Scrap Work Is Hard on Equipment

Anybody hauling scrap already knows that.

Heavy steel, demolition debris, concrete chunks, rebar, and mixed loads expose weak trailers fast.

A lot of trailers look good sitting empty.

That changes once they start getting loaded hard every day.

That’s when operators start dealing with:

• cracked floors,
• rear-end fatigue,
• loads hanging in the body,
• stressed dump bodies,
• excessive wear,
• constant repair downtime.

Scrap loads aren’t always balanced nicely.

Demolition debris finds weak spots fast.

And rear corners take a beating in scrap work.

A lot of problems don’t show up right away.

They show up once the trailer starts working every day.

Trailers sitting in the shop don’t make money.

The Dura-Haul SLC was built for demanding scrap, demolition, and recycling operations. Not around brochure specs.

Built Around the Areas That See the Most Wear

A lot of scrap trailers are designed around:

• payload numbers,
• lightweight claims,
• and sales brochure specs.

The SLC was built for demanding scrap, demolition, and recycling operations.

That’s why the rear 8 feet uses heavier 5/16” material in the area that takes the biggest beating during unloading.

Because the rear dump area typically sees some of the highest wear during unloading.

A scrap trailer can look good on paper and still not hold up in a real yard.

Built for Heavy Loads and High Volume

Durability matters.

But so does moving more material.

The Dura-Haul SLC is available in configurations up to 83.2 cubic yards, giving operators the capacity needed for demanding scrap, demolition, and recycling applications. When you’re moving material all day, fewer trips can make a real difference.

Available Capacities

Whether you’re hauling scrap metal, demolition debris, or mixed recycling loads, the SLC offers the volume needed to keep material moving efficiently.

Built for Operators Who Use Their Equipment Hard

AR400 / AR450 / AR500 Steel Options

Scrap loads destroy weak floors fast.

Especially abrasive material and uneven heavy loads. The SLC gives operators multiple AR steel options depending on how aggressive the material is and the kind of work being done.

Why Operators Care:

• Better wear resistance
• Longer floor life
• Less cracking and fatigue
• Better durability under abrasive loads
• Less money tied up in repairs

Reinforced 5/16” Rear Dump Area

The rear of a scrap trailer gets hammered every day.

That’s why the rear section uses heavier material where many trailers usually start developing fatigue first.

Why It Matters:

• Better resistance to repeated impact
• Reduced body fatigue
• Better long-term durability
• Helps reduce expensive downtime

45° Dump Angle

Heavy scrap hangs up fast in bad dump bodies.

The SLC’s 45° dump angle helps loads break loose and unload cleaner.

Why Operators Care:

• Faster dump cycles
• Cleaner unloading
• Less material hanging in the body
• Better productivity at the yard
